We&#39;re not going to let this one get away are we? Imagine coming back from 6-0 in an elimination game. No way.Brother Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18162500140573910451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-28550151262907965742012-10-11T07:18:28.230-07:002012-10-11T07:18:28.230-07:00What a great set-up for a Game 5!!!!! Too bad ver...What a great set-up for a Game 5!!!!! Too bad very few of us will actually get to see all or part of the game. Of course, that&#39;s due to the legislation which apparently passed Congress sometime back in the &#39;60&#39;s which mandates that all Yankees post-season games must be shown during East Coast prime time. With the A&#39;s being the only West Coast game going (therefore, they have to play the late game - that part is understandable, although brutal for Tiger fans), that means that NL fans lose out.<br /><br />My theory on this game is that, if Jonathan Sanchez can hit a 3B &amp; beat Mat Latos in a crucial game in 2010, then Matt Cain can hit an HR &amp; beat Mat Latos in a crucial game in 2012.<br /><br />Wonderful display by the Giants yesterday (particularly by Lincecum, Pagan, H. Sanchez [two BB&#39;s - isn&#39;t that more than he had all year?], &amp; Sandoval).<br /><br />GO GIANTS!!!!! WIN!!!!! WIN!!!!!

The key for Latos vs. the giants hitters is whether he gets the low strike. When he gets that strike down just below the knees, he is extremely effective. In games where he does not get that low strike he is hittable. Cain needs to simply not get careless. nomisnalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-45718458360334356182012-10-10T20:57:05.835-07:002012-10-10T20:57:05.835-07:00The game starts at breakfast time for the giants. ...The game starts at breakfast time for the giants. I know technically it is Timmy&#39;s 4th relief appearance but it is for practical matters his third. His first relief was due to a rain delay, and they started someone else in inning one. Once the rain situation cleared, Timmy came in to pitch the game. He was essentially the starter on hold that game. What I liked about Timmy&#39;s work was that he was getting that low fastball over in good spots, which then made his change-up even more deceptive and triply effective. That was the old Tim, but at 90mph instead of 93-97mph. Its not the speed, its the location, control and movement. nomisnalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08297640472949764321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-12114482517063317492012-10-10T20:16:58.244-07:002012-10-10T20:16:58.244-07:00Big Time Timmy Jim.
